Thanks, Mom

Every morning you woke me with a smile

Packed my dreams along with my lunch every mile

Bright notes left on folded napkins, just for me

In every moment, you showed what love could be

Looking back, I see your guiding hand

Lifting me each time I’d barely stand

Thanks, Mom, for standing by my side

For the laughter and the times I cried

The hero in my everyday song

I wouldn’t be me if you weren’t so strong

Thanks, Mom, for loving me so long

Through my storms and growing pains, you stayed

Your patience teaching me I’d never be afraid

You sacrificed your time so I could chase the sun

In your gentle eyes, my victories were won

Looking back, I see your guiding hand

Lifting me each time I’d barely stand

Thanks, Mom, for standing by my side

For the laughter and the times I cried

The hero in my everyday song

I wouldn’t be me if you weren’t so strong

Thanks, Mom, for loving me so long

When the world felt too big and dreams too small

You whispered hope and helped me through it all

Now I hope my love can echo yours, so true

I’m grateful for everything you do

Thanks, Mom, for standing by my side

For the laughter and the times I cried

The hero in my everyday song

I wouldn’t be me if you weren’t so strong

Thanks, Mom, for loving me so longThanks, Mom, for every single day

With all my heart, I mean each word I say
